20120041595 | PISTOL-GRIP FOR INTUITIVE CONTROL OF A ROBOTIC OR VIRTUAL HAND - A pistol-grip controller for the control of a robotic or virtual hand has multiple dual-action switching mechanisms positioned to simulate intuitively the motion of grasping and releasing an object. An externally-projecting switch trigger of each switching mechanism is hook-shaped to facilitate the operator donning and doffing the controller. These switches move in response to gripping and releasing movements of the associated fingers so as to close or open peripherals (fingers) of the end effector hand. A rocker switch allows an operator to toggle conveniently between commonly used modes of a virtual or robot hand, or the like. The mode toggling is complemented by a control to adjust between the commonly used modes of operation. To make the manipulation of the end effector more intuitive, the controller remaps the switching mechanisms to different functionalities on the end effector based on the mode of operation. The transition between switch to end effector mappings is hysteretic. In addition, the pistol-grip controller can be attached to an appropriate “master” robot arm and can be moved as a whole to create like roll, pitch and yaw movements and x, y and z displacements of the end effector on the “slave” robot arm without the actuation of any of the switches. | 02-16-2012 |

20100141061 | Switched Reluctance Machines with Minimum Stator Core - A two-phase switched reluctance machine is provided using discontinuous core structures as the stator for low-cost, high-performance drives. This discontinuous stator core structure contains short flux paths and maximum overlap between the rotor poles and stator poles in the stator discontinuous core structures, regardless of the rotor position. Example configurations of such core structure include E-core, L-core and I-core configurations. Using less steel and magnet wire than in conventional SRM designs results in cost savings of stator material and winding material. Efficiency of this novel SRM is improved because of shorter flux paths resulting in reduction of core losses and decreased phase resistance resulting in reduction of copper losses. Two-phase simultaneous excitation of the novel SRM can reduce torque ripple during commutation as compared with existing two-phase SRMs. | 06-10-2010 |

20160100682 | Brush Drying Support and Method of Using Same - The present invention relates to a new brush drying support and method for drying brushes, on the support. The invention comprises a support, comprised of a structure with a generally planar top portion, disposed at an optimal angle for retaining and draining brushes. This top portion is covered with a gripping material that holds brushes placed directly on the support, without requiring further retaining means. The proper method for retaining and draining a wet brush occurs when a brush is placed on an angled top portion of said support, with the brush stem located above the brush head. Further, the brush head overhangs the bottom edge of the top (angled) portion of the support. This novel brush support, and method of drying brushes, provide several advantages over the prior art; namely, improved cleanliness of the brush head, preservation and longevity of the brush head, support of multiple brushes in a small space, and improved user accessibility to brushes. Further, the invention provides compact brush storage without slots, holes or bulky retaining means. | 04-14-2016 |

20120172730 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETECTING APNEA - Existing monitors for apnea miss many serious events because they do not adequately distinguish the heart signal in chest impedance from the respiratory signal. Described herein is a respiratory monitoring system and method for improved detection and response to apnea, particularly in a NICU setting but also useful in a home setting. This method filters from the chest impedance the part of the impedance that is caused by the beating of the heart in a human subject, and then identifies in real time significant silence in the filtered chest impedance signal, including determining the probability of apnea. If the probability of apnea exceeds a threshold value, the apneic subject can be stimulated using automated interactions such as a vibrating mattress or air blower. | 07-05-2012 |

The extracted hydrocarbon-containing organic matter is separated from a residual material not extracted. | 03-26-2009 |
20090250381 | Extraction of Hydrocarbons from Hydrocarbon-Containing Materials and/or Processing of Hydrocarbon-Containing Materials - A method of extracting hydrocarbon-containing organic matter from a hydrocarbon-containing material includes the steps of providing a first liquid comprising a turpentine liquid; contacting the hydrocarbon-containing material with the turpentine liquid to form an extraction mixture; extracting the hydrocarbon material into the turpentine liquid; and separating the extracted hydrocarbon material from a residual material not extracted. | 10-08-2009 |
20100173806 | EXTRACTION OF HYDROCARBONS FROM HYDROCARBON-CONTAINING MATERIALS - A method of extracting hydrocarbon-containing organic matter from a hydrocarbon-containing material includes the steps of providing a first liquid comprising a turpentine liquid; contacting the hydrocarbon-containing material with the turpentine liquid to form an extraction mixture; extracting the hydrocarbon material into the turpentine liquid; and separating the extracted hydrocarbon material from a residual material not extracted. | 07-08-2010 |
20110174334 | INHIBITING CORROSION AND SCALING OF SURFACES CONTACTED BY SULFUR-CONTAINING MATERIALS - A method of treatment for inhibiting sulfur-based corrosion or scaling or for removing scaling from a surface including inhibiting corrosion caused by sulfur-containing materials, reducing corrosion caused by sulfur-containing materials, inhibiting scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials in gas, liquid or solid phase or any combination of multiple phases of materials, reducing scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials, and removing scaling caused by sulfur-containing and sulfur-containing materials. The method involves contacting sulfur-containing materials with a composition containing a turpentine liquid. The method also involves contacting corrodible surfaces or surfaces prone to scaling with a composition containing a turpentine liquid. | 07-21-2011 |

20130021207 | COPLANAR-WAVEGUIDE FED MONOPOLE ANTENNA - A planar monopole antenna is provided that includes a dielectric substrate with an electrically conductive antenna element adhered to the substrate surface. A coplanar waveguide is also adhered to the surface of the dielectric substrate in electrical communication with the antenna element. A microwave absorber layer is adhered to an opposing rearward surface of the dielectric substrate. The resultant antenna operates at a reduced return loss and lowers operating frequency compared to an antenna lacking the microwave absorber layer. As a result, an otherwise nonultrawideband antenna is operated as an ultrawideband antenna without increasing the dimensions of the antenna elements through resort to adherence of a microwave absorber layer to the rearward surface of the substrate. | 01-24-2013 |

20130178517 | Methods And Compositions For Treatment Of Lipogenic Virus Related Conditions - Disclosed are methods of treatment for adipogenic virus-related conditions. The methods may comprise administering a composition comprising an effective dose of an antiviral agent to a subject having an adipogenic adenovirus-related condition. Administration of the antiviral agent may prevent or reduce viral proliferation in the subject. The method may also include administering a composition comprising an effective dose of a therapeutic agent known to treat the adipogenic adenovirus-related condition in conjunction with the composition comprising an effective dose of an antiviral agent. Administration of the antiviral agent and the therapeutic agent may reduce or eliminate one or more symptoms of the adipogenic adenovirus-related condition more efficiently than administration of either the antiviral agent and the therapeutic agent alone. | 07-11-2013 |
